February 25, 2025, marks a pivotal moment in the House during Trump's second presidency, highlighting tensions within the Republican Party over extensive budget cuts affecting social programs. Proposed cuts could impact one in four Americans and half of all children, while Democrats anticipate potential gains. Republicans are contemplating slashing $2 trillion across various sectors to fund tax breaks, accompanied by significant cuts to Medicaid and food-stamp programs. Meanwhile, internal GOP dissent grows as the party grapples with the consequences of voting against key parts of Trump's agenda, potentially risking their political lives.
Today is shaping up to be the most consequential day yet in the House during this second Trump presidency, and Democrats will be watching with popcorn to see if those across the aisle have what it takes to stay united.
As many as a half-dozen Republicans were openly wavering about extending tax cuts that could add $5 trillion to the national debt over a decade.
